Kolla is an opinionated OpenStack deployment system unless the operator has opinions! Kolla is completely customizable but comes with consumable out of the box defaults for use with Ansible deployment. To understand the Kolla community’s philosophy towards deployment, please read our customize deployment documentation.

Kolla includes the following features:

AIO and multinode deployment using Ansible with n-way active high availability.

The following services can be deployed via Ansible in 12 to 15 minutes with 3 node high availability:

ceph for glance, nova, cinder

cinder (only ceph is implemented as a backend at this time)

glance

haproxy

heat

horizon

ironic (tech preview)

keystone

mariadb with galera replication

memcached

murano

neutron

nova

rabbitmq

swift

Kolla’s implementation is stable and the core reviewers feel Kolla is ready for evaluation by operators and third party projects. We strongly encourage people to evaluate the included Ansible deployment tooling and are keen for additional feedback.
